Fabrication Is The Only Requirement & Conditioner Of Consciousness

Fabrication Is The Only Requirement For & Conditioner Of Consciousness:
IT IS BECAUSE FABRICATION (ALSO KNOWN AS ACTING) IS (AS THE BUDDHA SAID) THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR THE RISING OF CONSCIOUSNESS, ACTING ALONE DICTATES THE NATURE OF ITS PROGENY, CONSCIOUSNESS VIA THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT INEVITABLY ACCOMPANY ACTING THAT APART FROM CONDITIONING AN ACTOR’S CONSCIOUSNESS CAN ALSO BE DIRECTLY TRANSMITTED WITHOUT NEED FOR INTELLIGENCE TO ALL (NOT JUST SOME) WHO INTERACT WITH THE ACTOR, ACTING IS NEVER PARTIAL AND PART TIME BUT ACTING IS ALWAYS CONSTANT AND TOTAL EMBRACING EVERY ACTIVITY (PERCEPTION, THOUGHT, SPEECH AND MOTION) THAT EVERY BEING (INCLUDING ANIMALS) ON EARTH IS HELD CAPTIVE IN A COMMON OR SHARED CONSCIOUSNESS STATE OF WOE THAT THOUGH VERY RESISTANT TO CHANGE AS IF UNREMITTING, WILL NEVERTHELESS YIELD TO CHANGE BUT ONLY TO A SUSTAINED (NOT HALF HEARTED) CORRECTLY DIRECTED ASSAULT TO ELIMINATE BY EFFACEMENT (WEARING OFF) THE FABRICATING THAT IS THE ONLY SOURCE AND CONDITIONER OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS STATE.
IT IS BECAUSE NOBODY COULD OR HAS EVER UNDERTAKEN A SUSTAINED CORRECTLY DIRECTED ASSAULT TO EFFACE FABRICATING OR ACTING BUT INSTEAD THEY HAVE ALL BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN MAINTAINING EACH OTHER IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS STATUS QUO THAT EXISTED BEFORE 1977 THAT THIS COMMONLY SHARED WOEFUL CONSCIOUS STATE HAS REMAINED STABLE FOR EVEN AS LONG AS LIFE EXISTED ON EARTH.
FABRICATING FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES IS ALWAYS DRIVEN BLINDLY WITHOUT NEED FOR CONSCIOUSNESS OR REASON BY MENTAL FORCE THAT IS NEVER PUNY AND EASILY PLACATED BUT ALWAYS INTENSE AND TENACIOUS AND IT IS THIS FORBIDDING MENTAL FORCE THAT MUST BE CONFRONTED WITH AND TOTALLY ELIMINATED TO CHANGE THE CONSCIOUSNESS STATE EXISTING TO EXPERIENCE A NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION FREE CHANGED CONSCIOUSNESS STATE. MANY CANNOT BEAR TO CONFRONT OR RECOGNIZE THEIR MENTAL FORCE THAT THEY HAVE ACCEPTED AS THEIR FRIEND, LET ALONE WORK IN A SUSTAINED MANNER TO ELIMINATE IT.
(What actors call the reasons underlying their actions are their false emotional motives, their false rationalizations and excuses)
The Buddha said:
From ignorance as a requisite condition come fabrications.From fabrications comes consciousness.From consciousness comes name-and-form (objects).From name-and-form come the six sense media (sight, sound, touch, smell and taste are the avenues for contact with these objects).From the six sense media comes contact.From contact comes feeling (sensations of pleasant, unpleasant or neither).From feeling comes craving (emotional or forceful like or dislike).From craving comes clinging/sustenance.From clinging/sustenance comes becoming (you need becoming or progress in time to enable you to be attached to the object of your desire).From becoming comes birth.From birth, then old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair come into play. Such is the origination of this entire mass of stress and suffering.
Fabrication is THE not A requirement for consciousness to arise according to the Buddha because he did not mention anything except fabrication as the requirement for consciousness and therefore (according to the Buddha), fabricating precedes and is the only cause of consciousness.
If fabricating is something isolated to speech and occasional like telling a lie or exaggerating, it is not possible that it is a requirement for the rising of consciousness. Only when fabricating is something fundamental or basic, involving even every activity a being is capable of and constant can it be tenable as the Buddha said that from fabrication as a requirement comes consciousness.
Only acting (as defined by me) fits this bill because acting is fabricating that is never part time or isolated but it is always total in all actors and false, embracing whatever and however the actor perceives, thinks, does and say that is always done without need for consciousness (and therefore precedes consciousness), unconsciously by facsimile regurgitation from automated mental jukeboxes.
(What I say proves that the Buddha is correct in saying that from fabrication comes consciousness, not the other way round and what the Buddha says proves that what I say is correct that fabrication is not isolated or intermittent but fabrication is global involving whatever and however a person perceives, thinks, says or does. It is because it is as the Buddha says that consciousness comes from fabricating and is therefore dependent on fabricating or acting that a change in acting which is what in essence has happened in recent years will result in a change in consciousness)
Because acting is always regurgitation that once triggered is driven by force unconsciously from a mental jukebox just like it is electrical power and not consciousness that drives playback from a CD player, it is mental force and not consciousness that drives jukebox acting, it (fabrication) precedes consciousness.
Fabricating may precede consciousness (because it can occur without consciousness) but does consciousness come from fabricating as the Buddha said?
Why waste energy creating stress to fabricate if there is no purpose? There purpose of fabrication is to be appreciated (by self and others), more specifically the purpose of fabrication is to deceive, please, impress, dominate or intimidate and in order to do so you must have consciousness or develop awareness and nothing else.
Just because fabricating or acting can be and is done without consciousness does not mean you do not want to or cannot observe or admire yourself acting unconsciously. Just because you are observing yourself fabricating or acting does not mean you are fabricating or acting consciously. Actors may kid themselves they are speaking live on occasions when they pay attention to admire their charming speech but they are merely observing themselves speaking by rote from their mental jukebox, not speaking live. This is what happens in practice and the reason why this is so is because the simultaneous substance and style combo cannot be rendered live but must be premixed and rendered as synthesized by repeat. Only speech that has no style can be rendered live.
Consciousness is never needed or used in fabricating or acting but consciousness is desirable during the act or fabrication to observe or admire it.
How often are actors aware that they laugh whilst they speak? Even on the occasions when they are aware, they are merely consciously observing like a voyeur themselves fabricating laughter from their mental jukebox, never consciously fabricating their laughter because no one can do two things consciously at the same time, talk consciously and laugh consciously at the same time but instead they talk and laugh unconsciously from their mental jukeboxes and consciousness is merely present as a witness not guide and performer. Consciousness is never needed for fabricating and never present during fabricating and consciousness is only needed and present to observe oneself fabricating.
Thus as the Buddha said, from fabrication comes consciousness and the purpose of consciousness is to observe or appreciate the false fabricating or acting that is undertaken without consciousness. Nothing else apart from consciousness can allow you to appreciate your fabrication.
If the mind truly does not fabricate (something beings in this world have never known) there is nothing happening, the mind is vacant and there is no need for it to be conscious.
As much as people like to believe they are such genuine or sincere and unique beings, they are objectively, impartially biological (emotional) robots; all their activities namely whatever and however they perceive, think, speak and move are never performed live specifically for a situation at hand but they are always done by regurgitation (repeat) or by fabricating from mental jukeboxes that require no consciousness in which they or their consciousness are merely observers or voyeurs and overrated disk jockeys deciding which tunes to play and when to change tunes.
Just as a CD or DVD player does not require any consciousness to function, it only requires someone (or a timer or computer program) to turn it on and select tracks to play and it will then faithfully carry out what is instructed of it without any consciousness involved, in the same way acting preprogrammed from mental jukeboxes with a fully integrated or premixed substance and style does not require consciousness, can be carried without consciousness being involved and on the contrary, consciousness can detract from fabricating or acting as anyone who becomes self conscious eg with stage fright may attest. When a person becomes self-conscious, his normally slick (mindless) rendering of what he wants to say or do may break down.
When someone sleepwalks or sleep-talks, he is fabricating (walking and talking) without being conscious he does indicating again that fabricating can occur without consciousness and therefore fabricating precedes or comes before consciousness.
How often if ever are people conscious that they are ALWAYS stretching (a fabrication) their syllables let alone the units of their movements, thoughts and even perceptions? How often if ever are people aware that there constantly unnecessarily added force, constant multi-layered changes of speed, strength of force and even direction (all fabricated) in their perceptions, thoughts, speech and motion?
How can consciousness be essential or precede acting when actors are not even aware they are constantly stretching their syllables, constantly changing speed and loudness but instead their constant stretching of whatever they say, do, think and perceive, their constant changing of speed and strength of force in whatever they say, do, think and perceive are done without consciousness or unconsciously and therefore acting that encompasses the whatever and however of all activities of that being and thus includes or is the fabrication that the Buddha refers to, precedes consciousness.
Unless or until they become mad, nobody will knowingly consciously kill themselves. Acting, which embraces every activity a being can undertake, is a grimly determined slow suicide by stress and because ordinary people are not mad, at least not yet, they must be acting or committing slow suicide without awareness that they do so.
Not only does consciousness come (only) from fabricating but its characteristics are defined by the stress, restlessness and distraction that fabricating or acting causes. Consciousness is never fixed or unchangeable but it is held in tormenting bondage that is so strong, tenacious and stable so that it seems invincible (but it can be broken given the right correctly directed sustained effort) by a combination of self and other created stress, restlessness and distraction as a result of the constant fabricated forceful stretching, changes in speed and strength of force in their speech and motion that can be experienced by all recipients directly without need for requisites like intelligence so that they similarly become stressed, restless and distracted.
The state of everyone’s consciousness is maintained tenaciously in an illusion as if invincible or permanent by a combination of the stress, restlessness and distraction they all (not some) induce in themselves and others as a result of their constant fabricating or acting. Because it is thus maintained, it is not without cause, this status quo however tenacious, can be broken if someone were to start speaking or behaving without stretching his syllables or units of motion, without constantly changing speed and strength of force to thereby not induce stress, restlessness and distraction in himself and others that will be appreciably by all observers independent of their intelligence just as they can appreciate the stress, restlessness and distraction imparted by others’ behavior.
It is only because a person’s consciousness state has cause; it is caused by stress, restlessness and distraction that it can be changed. If a person’s consciousness state is without cause, uninfluenced by anything then it is not subject to change and no consciousness changes are possible. That everyone’s consciousness has changed twice in recent years indicate that consciousness is determined by stress, restlessness and distraction that can be changed to result in a changed consciousness.
Fabricating is not an all or none phenomenon but it can vary in severity or grossness.
Existence itself with a self in opposition (on earth) or fellowship (in heaven) of others in an external world be it heaven, earth or hell is itself fabricated and no matter how long it lasts, it too is impermanent.
TO EXIST IN HEAVEN IN FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHERS WITHOUT STRETCHING UNITS OF PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND MOTION IS A LESS EXTREME FORM OF FABRICATING THAT RESULTS IN A CONSCIOUSNESS STATE THAT IS INCOMPARABLY MORE BLISSFUL THAN COMPARED TO THAT ON EARTH.
TO EXIST ON EARTH WITH A SELF THAT IS FORCEFULLY FALSELY SET APART (SELF IDENTITY VIEWS) IN ANTAGONISM FROM OTHERS, WITH CONSTANT UNNECESSARY FORCEFUL STRETCHING OF ONE’S UNITS OF PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND MOTION IS A MORE EXTREME FORM OF FABRICATING THAT INEVITABLY RESULTS IN A CONSCIOUSNESS STATE THAT IS INCOMPARABLY MORE TORMENTING THAN THAT IN HEAVEN.
THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT JUST AS THE CONSCIOUSNESS STATE HERE IS CONSIDERABLY MORE TORMENTING THAN IN HEAVEN, IT MAY BE EVEN MORE SO IN HELL OR THE ANIMAL WORLD. AS THE BUDDHA SAID, HE CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING MORE TORMENTING THAN HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB. SO THOSE WHO THINK THEY MIGHT JUST ENJOY THEMSELVES IN HELL OR AS ANIMALS MIGHT RETHINK. AFTER YOU LEAVE HERE IT IS EITHER ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN OR ETERNAL PUNISHMENT AND YOU ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH FEATHERING YOUR NEST HERE.
From the cessation of ignorance (No wise person will fabricate because fabricating is always stressful. As the Buddha said, whatever is changing is stressful, nirvana the unchanging is the end of all stress) comes the cessation of fabrications.From the cessation of fabrications comes the cessation of consciousness.From the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of name-and-form.From the cessation of name-and-form comes the cessation of the six sense media.From the cessation of the six sense media comes the cessation of contact.From the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling.From the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving.From the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging/sustenance.From the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of becoming.From the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth.From the cessation of birth, then old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair all cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of stress and suffering.
An Explanation Of Dependent Co-Arising:
If a being exists before birth and will exist in another destination after death, then birth is not the beginning of his existence nor is death the end but birth and death are merely illusory transition points of secondary importance. Only if there is no existence before birth is birth then the beginning point and only if there is no existence after death is death then the end point.
There is existence without consciousness because a person who is asleep or unconscious still exists as a being even when he is without consciousness. On a lesser scale, a person can stretch his syllables, change speed and loudness all the time without awareness or consciousness he does so. So you can do things without consciousness.
The Buddha said it is possible to stop thinking and even to stop breathing without dying and although it is beyond the capability of humans to stop thinking, it is an indication that there is existence without thinking and far from boring it may be an incomparable release from the burden of thinking. If you think God thinks like you nonstop all the time restlessly forcefully you may be deluded.
Therefore consciousness is not foremost but there is mental activity, specifically fabricating before and without consciousness.
Because fabrications are false and stressful nobody who knows will fabricate. Therefore ignorance is a requisite for fabrication.
It is ignorance that is the origin or out of ignorance that a being fabricates that is never part time but consumes or embraces his entire being. Acting is entirely fabricating and there may be or are no other forms of fabricating apart from acting which in reality involves whatever and however the actor perceives, thinks, says or do. Therefore when the Buddha speaks of fabricating he must be speaking about acting or putting on a show that involves every facet of that being.
Why fabricate when it is false and stressful if there is no purpose? Therefore fabricating must have purpose and it is to be appreciated, more specifically to deceive, please, impress, intimidate or dominate and you need awareness or consciousness and nothing else to appreciate your fabrications and thus as the Buddha said, from fabricating as a requisite come consciousness.
From consciousness comes name and form because objects can exist without sensory perceptions (just because you close your eyes and no longer see, does not mean the objects in front of you have disappeared). From the existence of objects comes the five sense media (sight, sound, touch, smell and taste) that enable you to interact with them. With the existence of the sensory media that permits interaction comes contact and from contact comes (passive) feeling that can only be pleasant, unpleasant or neutral. From feeling comes craving (emotional liking or disliking) and from craving comes clinging that initiates a process of becoming that necessitate a start of a sequence or birth that then necessitates an end or death.
(I may be a dilettante with no qualification or expertise but how many if any Buddhist scholars throughout the ages and even today have explained what the Buddha said the way I have?)
The Supernatural Powers Of The Buddha:
There are many different conflicting accounts of who the Buddha is and it is up to the individual to discern but the Buddha may be no ordinary being because he possessed supernatural powers as related in the story below where his superior power overcame that of a wrathful demon.
It is extremely foolish to attack a Buddha and it is only because of his possessiveness, his selfish attachment to his abode that caused this demon to attack the Buddha.
1. And the Blessed One, wandering from place to place, came to Uruvelà.
2. And the Blessed One went to the hermitage of the Jañila Uruvelà Kassapa. He said to the Jañila Uruvelà Kassapa: `If it is not disagreeable to you, Kassapa, let me spend one night in the room where your (sacred) fire is kept.'
`It is not disagreeable to me, Great Samaõa, but there is a savage nàga (or serpent) king of great magical power (55), a dreadfully venomous serpent; let him do no harm to you.'
`He is not likely to do any harm to me. Pray, Kassapa, allow me a place in the room where your fire is kept.'
`Stay there, Great Samaõa, as you wish it.'
3. Then the Blessed One entered the room where the fire was kept, made Himself a couch of grass, and sat down cross-legged, keeping the body erect and surrounding Himself with watchfulness of mind (56). And the nàga saw that the Blessed One had entered; when he saw that, he became annoyed, and irritated, and sent forth a cloud of smoke. Then the Blessed One thought: `What if I were to leave intact the skin, and hide, and flesh, and ligaments, and bones, [\q 120/] and marrow of this nàga; but were to conquer the fire, which he will send forth, by my fire.'
4. And the Blessed One effected the appropriate exercise of miraculous power and sent forth a cloud of smoke. Then the nàga, who could not master his rage (57), sent forth flames. And the Blessed One, converting His body into fire (58), sent forth flames. When they both shone forth with their flames, the fire room looked as if it were burning and blazing, as if it were all in flames, and the Jañilas, surrounding the fire room, said: `Truly the countenance of the Great Samaõa is beautiful, but the nàga will do harm to him (59).'
5. That night having elapsed, the Blessed One, leaving intact the skin and hide and flesh and ligaments and bones and marrow of that nàga, and conquering the nàga's fire by His fire, threw him into His alms-bowl, and showed him to the Jañila Uruvelà Kassapa (saying), `Here you see the nàga, Kassapa; his fire has been conquered by my fire.'
Then the Jañila Uruvelà Kassapa thought: `Truly the Great Samaõa possesses high magical powers and great faculties, in that he is able to conquer by his fire the fire of that savage nàga king, who is possessed of magical power, that dreadfully venomous serpent. He is not, however, holy (arahat) as I am.'
Two Types Of Changes:
There are two types of consciousness changes possible.
There is a change that requires perception, paying attention, understanding and putting into practice a course of action that will result in a permanent change in behavior that then causes a permanent change in that person’s consciousness state.
For instance, in order to permanently exit restlessness, something incredible in the past, it requires someone to tell you where no one would before that there are constant even multilayered changes in speed, strength of force and even direction in your speech, motion, thought and perceptions, it further requires that you examine, discover these changes (not as foregone a conclusion as you might presume) and put into practice sustained corrective measures to eliminate unnecessary speed, strength of force and direction changes such that when you have finally totally negated the previous blind mental urge to constantly change, you will experience an effortless permanent release from restlessness that you never dreamt was possible.
There is another change that is blind, that only requires perception of change happening to others without need for understanding or thinking that then forcibly seizes the person to change in a way that his own nature will allow to reduce but never eliminate his own stress, restlessness and distractibility because he lacks the discernment to see by himself how he himself and others are creating stress, restlessness and distraction or if he can see, he lacks the persistence and conscience to pursue change. This is the type of change that occurred to everyone by contagion both after 1977 and in recent years. There may be those who are lulled by changes in themselves that brought some relief from suffering who think they are safe when they have merely changed like everyone else has.
IT IS THE UNIVERSAL ABILITY OF ALL BEINGS (INCLUDING ANIMALS) TO BE FORCEFULLY STRESSED, MADE RESTLESS AND DISTRACTED DIRECTLY BY THE BEHAVIOR (APPEARANCE, SPEECH AND MOTION) OF OTHERS THAT REQUIRES NO INTELLIGENCE TO MEDIATE THAT IS THE BASIS FOR THE CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE THAT SWEPT BY CONTAGION AROUND THE WORLD NOT ONCE BUT TWICE (AFTER 1977 AND IN RECENT YEARS).
IF YOU CAN BE STRESSED, MADE RESTLESS AND DISTRACTED BY ANOTHER’S BEHAVIOR (AS ALL BEINGS IN THIS WORLD CAN) AND EVERYBODY IS CONSTANTLY DOING THAT TO YOU AND THERE COMES ALONG SOMEONE WHOSE BEHAVIOR DOES NOT DO SO, YOUR MIND CAN EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE AND BE STIRRED TO CHANGE BY CONTAGION. BECAUSE IT NEEDS NO INTELLIGENCE, IT IS BLIND & HE DOES NOT KNOW WHY OR HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
ALL BEINGS CAN SENSE THAT MY SPEECH DOES NOT INDUCE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION IN THEM BUT THEY CANNOT TELL THAT THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO FORCEFUL STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, NO FORCEFUL CHANGING OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS. BECAUSE THEY CANNOT TELL WHAT IS THE SECRET INGREDIENT TO THE LACK OF STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION, THEY CANNOT GIVE UP MANIPULATING OTHERS, THEY ARE STIRRED TO CHANGE THEMSELVES IN A HIT AND MISS, MUDDLED EMPIRICAL MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF GLOBALLY REDUCED STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT THEY HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY DID NOT REALIZE WAS POSSIBLE BEFORE.
Why The Consciousness State Has Escaped Change For So Long:
The reason the human consciousness state has escaped change throughout the ages when it should have been possible to do so all along is because the escape is like a secret door well hidden behind a bookcase whose release mechanism is also well hidden, the vast majority lack the conscience and dissatisfaction with the status quo to look for an escape, satisfied from a casual perusal that no escape is possible and of the few who were distressed to seek an escape, they were all barking up the wrong trees or their own ill will they imagined was their goodwill was an handicap too great for them to be eligible to trigger the change.
The intensity of the stress, restlessness and distraction that detained them coupled with the relentless bombardment of the same by others in the days before 1977 was so strong that it provided too formidable a barrier for ordinary people to not just overcome but overcome in a sustained manner for quite a period before the consciousness state will relent to be permanently changed.
How many if any, can resist in a sustained manner the overwhelming social pressure to smile falsely to greet others so that he experiences a measure of relief from stress and restlessness to vindicate his discernment that smiling is false and stressful? The vast majority cannot be bothered to do anything even if they are aware smiling creates stress and restlessness in them, they may occasionally rein in their smiling but they will not quit smiling like they can quit smoking and of those who do find smiling objectionable they are driven by ill will to scowl or look grim, itself another expression that creates stress and restlessness, akin to the pot (the sour faced man) calling the kettle (those who smile falsely) black. It is a very rare person with goodwill who is dedicated to the goal of exterminating stress who will quit smiling totally without replacing it with sullenness.
Even when I set out to change myself to counter the disagreeable stress and restlessness that I was experiencing in 1997, I had no idea that it would culminate in another consciousness change not just for me but everyone else.
I merely started to attack the stress I experienced by doing the obvious, I felt that my smiling, doing and saying things to please others were creating stress for me and therefore I steadfastly paid attention to correct that. This, together with regular meditation that I was cultivating daily resulted in relative ill defined brief respites from stress, restlessness. I still believed sadness, stress and restlessness were part and parcel of existence that I can only hope to reduce. But as I reduced my stress load relatively, I began to see things clearly and discovered that the stretching of syllables I could detect in myself and others were disagreeable, stressful not pleasant as it is supposed to be. I duly worked to stop that and in time I achieved that. This brought a further reduction in stress levels that permitted me to gain insight. I started to discover with greater certainty speed and loudness changes in my speech and that of everyone else that I finally could see were not only constant but multilayered, not only do people change speed within stretched syllables, they changed speed between syllables and between words and this was the only cause of the restlessness they must all suffer regularly from. By working in a sustained fashion to detect and eliminate without remainder speed and loudness changes I discovered to my surprise an increasingly effortless and frequent freedom from restlessness until I realized my consciousness state has permanently changed. I could effortlessly sustain long periods wherein I was free of stress, restlessness and distraction, free of doubt and uncertainty, incapable of feeling sad. It also gradually dawned on me that everyone too was changing.
I remember there were significant obstacles at a few stages at which I could have faltered and arrested the changes I sought but it is in my nature to be intolerant of suffering and falsity that I would not be denied and would brook no resistance in my quest to exterminate suffering.
Unconscious Lying:
It is not possible that Rumsfeld knows that what he says is logically unsound or untenable and therefore false and he is telling lies. Therefore his lying is unconscious. He thinks he is speaking the truth and sincere when he is lying and subject to grave sanction.
Therefore it is that fabrication (lying) is unconscious, precedes consciousness, does not need consciousness and consciousness as the Buddha said comes from fabricating (in this case lying) because he needs his consciousness to appreciate his fabrications.
Rumsfeld steadfast as unyielding Iraq war defender
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the craftsman and unyielding defender of the Iraq war, was recently asked how he thought history would treat him.
"You know, I don't have the vaguest idea. But I'll tell you this: I don't worry about it," Rumsfeld said during an appearance before the Washington press corps. (If he does worry about it then he is telling a lie. The fact that he spoke about worry with regard to how history will treat him suggests he does have more than the vaguest idea and therefore he told a lie in saying that he doesn’t have the vaguest idea. He is being defiant, telling a lie to lash back at reporters)
"I can tell you one thing for sure," Rumsfeld added. "The people writing the news today, tomorrow and the next day are not writing history. It will take a little while, a little perspective." (His statement is purely emotional to scoff at people writing news as if they have no idea of how history will judge him)
"He's stuck it out when lesser men would walk away," Carafano said. "I don't care what you call that, hubris or whatever. I truthfully think just changing the captain on the ship wouldn't have made any difference. If anything, it may have slowed things down because at least that captain knows the mistakes he made." (If what you truthfully think is wrong view, then it condemns you rather than exonerates you. Just because you truthfully believes what is false does not sanitize it but there is only one destination for delusion, suffering)
Quote Dick Cheney: If the Democrats can lead, I can sing on American Idols.
Comment: Even if he is a very competent leader, it is a sin to denigrate others but if he himself is objectively quite a hopeless leader, he is asking for big trouble speaking so disrespectfully. He is very foolishly sticking out his neck unnecessarily.
Another Type Of Contagion:
It may be avaricious foreigners with a lot of money target India as they targeted other countries like Malaysia in the past where there is a credible story of boundless economic growth, they snap up lots of shares driving the market up rapidly that catches the eyes of foolish greedy locals who join in believing that India is following China’s footsteps. Foreigners with plenty of money who had bought shares at very low levels, abetted by expert analysts who paint ebullient pictures of the economy, continue to ramp up prices at slightest excuses that suck in more and more locals, some of whom are foolish enough to bet their family heirlooms and even borrow in the hope of becoming instant millionaires.
Should prices correct, foreigners still make a lot of money because they went in at relatively low prices and anyway the money they invested may not be theirs because they are merely fund managers rewarded by their performance. All this while the environment suffers as a result of a booming economy and there will be a point when the earth destabilizes and everyone suffers terribly.
Those in the front line encouraging such surges in the stock markets, those analysts who go along all have serious karma and suffering in repayment.
AND WHAT IS THE AGENT IN THIS CONTAGION? IT IS EMOTIONAL OR FORCEFUL GREED FOR UNRIGHTEOUS QUICK EASY GAINS.

Indian shares power past 11,000
Indian stockbrokers are enjoying boom times
India's main stock market has passed another major milestone, scaling the 11,000 mark for the first time ever.
The landmark level was reached less than six weeks after Indian shares broke through the 10,000 barrier.
Strong economic growth and increased interest by foreign investors in Indian firms have underpinned the market's performance in the past two years. (Is this fact or a justification for the stocks to rise?)
After touching a 11,017.25 high on Tuesday, the benchmark Sensex share index closed down slightly at 10,905.2.
The index passed the 10,000 mark for the first time as recently as early February, and has risen 17% in value so far this year.
The previous year had seen share prices increase by 42%.
Analysts said they expected the market to continue growing, bolstered by widespread faith in India's ability to maintain its outstanding economic growth of recent years.
"This is a no-sell market with strong fundamentals, sustained domestic buying and retail appetite in equities keeping stocks buoyant," said Rajesh Jain, a director at Pranav Securities.
